Ball Lights, Oud Air Freshener, Fancy Ramadan Box

Salma Yassin

Egyptians have accustomed to exchanging gifts during religious occasions and while the countdown to Ramadan has begun, here are fancy ideas for the gift boxes.

Colored Lantern

It’s the box’s key element and the most significant feature of Ramadan.

There are several choices for choosing lanterns as they can be made of “khayameya” fabric; the ornamented tent material, wood, bamboo, metal, plastic or beads.

Apart from the old-fashioned lanterns, they are currently presented in very pleasant and modern colors like pink, purple, blue, white, silver and gold.

Ramadan Cushions

One or two cushions covered with “khayameya” fabric or have some Quranic inscriptions on their surface would fill a wide space inside the box and confer a beautiful touch.

Cotton Ball Lights

It’s a home lighting decor that is super classy and mainly used to add a calm atmosphere when lights are turned off.

This gift could impress those who like indirect lights and seek for tranquility.

Oud Air-freshener

Oud, musky and other Arabic aromas are much related to religious occasions like Ramadan and people prefer to use them in filling the air with such clean, cool, and pleasant odors.

This bottle dipped inside your gift box could give it an adorable scent as well.

The Holy Quran

For more consistency, choose a Holy Quran with a colored cover that matches all other box’s components.

Light Prayer Mat

This kind of prayer mats is extremely useful as it doesn’t take much space and can be easily carried to the mosque or any other place.

Inside the box, the mat can be folded tightly and wrapped by a nice ribbon.

Iconic Cartoon Characters

“Bogy and Tamtam”, “Bakkar” are renowned Egyptian cartoon series that used to be broadcast each year during Ramadan.

Despite of being suspended years ago, they are still dipped in Egyptians' minds and their dolls are commonly used to decorate homes, rooms and even cars during Ramadan, so, it would be a great idea to set one or two characters in your box.
